Friday's words: The public may have the following misunderstandings about biographical films: first, the people who are passed on are extraordinary people who are higher than ordinary people; second, the people who are passed on can always be used as a good example of inspirational people and belong to positive energy; and the third is that people who are passed on can always do something big.
These misconceptions (or misleading) are naturally attributed to the commercial blockbusters!
Of course, it is good to create heroes, exaggerate the great cause, this is nothing bad, movies, is not originally a dream, but the problem is that once entertainment becomes a pursuit, imitation, this in reality, it is dangerous!
The following recommended 10 movies from businessmen to presidents, from big musicians to charlatans, and from scammers to gangsters, after watching you will find that the protagonists in each movie seem to be different from the heroes in commercial blockbusters, it seems that the director is more enthusiastic about the digging of the characters' troubles, and the film has a strong critical nature.
